BARBI BREEN GURLEY
She owns “Sea Horse Ranch”, an equestrian training & boarding facility in Los Osos, California, specializing in Dressage. At her facility she provides riding instruction & horsemanship training for people of all ages. All an interested rider needs is a desire to study and learn. The stable is located near the ocean beaches, with many miles of trails in adjacent Montana de Oro State Park.
She lives with her husband Geof and their four children near the Morro Bay National Estuary on the California central coast. When she isn’t on a horse or teaching, she & Geof enjoy family time and dance, along with other outdoor activities (sailing and rowing on Morro Bay) are favorites for the whole family.
